Jaane kya chaahe mann baawra....

Jaane kya chahe mann baawra....I just hope i am able to figure out what i want, in every aspect of my life. People who have what they want or who are working towards the goals in their life, who are doing what gives them happiness are no doubt lucky, but even people who just know what they want are also lucky. 

If a person is able to figure this out in their lives, i guess he is successful enough. I always imagine, life would be so much more simple after that, you know what you want, work for it get it live happily, otherwise lve happily just working for it. 

Here i am, so confused about each and everything in life, i really dont know where life is taking me, if i want to go there and what will i find on the way. I want to take control of my life, say with confidence, yes, this is the decision i took for myself and i am happy i did it.

 

But no, yours truly is as clueless about her life as she is about , about Betelgeuse. And the problem doesnt end here, i am confused not only about my professional aspirations, i am equally confused about the decisions i should take in my personal life as well. This makes the situation worst, and is driving me mad these days. 

I need career counseling, i need a psychologist and i need solace.

My movie My glory

New Year came, and with it began the new term.

Sangram followed in the first week of the term and history was created at IIMK campus, wen for the first time K defeated IIMB, which incidentally they didn't accept and made Sangram 2009 a Maha Sangram. 

Come Monday 12/01/09 and the news is that Slumdog Millionaire won 4 golden Globes including the best OST by ARRehman. The whole country is celebrated like its their win, and the news channels are raving about the movie as if it was their home productions.

We Indians have this interesting habit of basking in the glory of anything remotely connected to India, be it be Deepa Mehta's 'Water' or this one. She was not even allowed to shoot the movie in India, but wen the movie got nominated for Oscar, it suddenly became an Indian film.

 Slumdog has nothing important that is Indian apart from the music which has been recognized already with ARR. The movie is based on a novel by an Indian Author Vikas Swarup, but a novel is not a movie. The award winning screenplay is by Simon Beaufoy who is a British screenplay writer and Danny Boyle the director is also English. It is essentially an Englishman's movie and presence of Indian actors doesn't make it a indian movie just like RDB is indian and Lagaan is indian. 

I think we should not behave pathetic and try and get a chunk out of other people's glory, coming up with some good work of our own and then celebrating and cherishing it is a better thing to do.
